Some of my Favorite Authors

In light of continued fun and games with social media, well. You know. BTW, still open to social media suggestions. Tell me where you hang out! But I digress. Some of my favorite authors! People ask me about my favorite authors a lot, and I usually have the same...

Tropes I Am Trash For

Resurrection Code, by Lyda Morehouse

I’m so excited about this book! Is it March 15 yet? Lyda’s also posting vignettes to her livejournal. The first one opens: You know how everyone asks “do you remember where you were when the Aswan dams broke?” I remember very well, indeed....
